Goal!

Savannah scored her first goal for the season in her game last weekend! I think she was a little surprised because she turned and looked at where Richard and I were sitting with a strange look on her face. She has been so close to scoring in her previous game but the defenders have either gotten the ball away from her or she has been a little shy about shooting. Hopefully a little taste of scoring will get her going for the season. Porter has made friends with the little sisters of a teammate of Savannah's and he had fun playing on the sidelines. Cardyn was MIA since her game was the night before and she had a birthday party. She was disappointed though, since we played Mrs. Nouryeh's (her K teacher) daughter's team. Saturday Jon and Jessica came over and we had a fun visit with them and Jessica's dog Calvin. My kids were so excited for that dog and had to show him off to all the neighbor kids. Porter was obsessed and fed the dog food to Calvin one piece at a time out of his bowl. He cried and cried when they left. Thanks for the nice visit Jon and Jessica!
The kids have been wanting to get up some Halloween decorations, so we made some ghouls out of two liter bottles and started putting up fall decorations. In the spirit of being resourceful, we made some home made decorations, the twine ball was from stuff I had around the house, old shirts made the rosettes on my witch sign and Richard even helped me make the ball on top of the steel flower pot with pages from an old book. We stayed up late crafting which is something we have never done since we aren't crafty people, but it was a lot of fun!
